I have also used towels. Bath, hand or tea towels. Whatever the size of the gift calls for! This also works for weddings gifts or anything else.

I have 7 children and for years have made fabric bags to use for wrapping. I don't like all the waste that paper creates. The bags are then recycled for many years to come. I have made them in many different sizes and each year create what I need. My kids always enjoy this and people outside our family love the bags they get their gifts in too! I attach ribbon ties to the bags and can attach name tags to the ribbon when putting the gift in. :)

I use fabric and most of the time I get it back because only one daughter sews. For baby gifts, wrap in a receiving blanket or hooded towel. Use little socks for bows. For weddings, wrap in a tea towel or table cloth. Use pot scrubbers for bows.

I have used bags and boxes from kids meals in the past if they were clean. Most of the time it still had the toy inside of it.

My gifts are usually "built" and so I take a bowl, serving tray as my base and add things to my base. Then wrap in cello with a big bow. This year, the gifts will be included in a big reusable bag.......I'm going GREEN!!! LOL

The Dec issue of Quilters World has an article on wraps for gifts.

We haven't bought gift wrap paper in years. When we were young and in the Navy we were so hard up that my neighbour gave me her Sunday paper so the kids could read the funnys, then I used these and wraped their gifts in them and they looked okay to me. The kids really liked it and what a save.
